Healing Houses details Sheldon Norberg's two decades of work on homes where death, disease, and traumas of prior owners left palpable feelings for the current residents to contend with, as well as rationally inexplicable phenomena, and occasionally, ghosts...

After completing his Master of Intuition Medicine training at the Academy of Intuition Medicine®, he earned his BA in Psycho-Spiritual Healing (a program of his own design) at San Francisco State University.

He is a Certified Chi Nei Tsang practitioner and Hypnotherapist, who has studied Holotropic Breathwork® with Stanislav Grof, Alchemical Divination with Ralph Metzner, and shamanism with Jose and Lena Stevens. He pulls from all these studies in his client work, although working with houses, offices, and other charged buildings is his greatest focus. Sheldon lives in Northern California with his partner Suzanne and their two children.

In describing dozens of these situations, Norberg explains just how the energy patterns of previous inhabitants affect the current residents.

More than that, he describes the intuitive processes he uses to shift these patterns and restore energetic balance in homes, presents a broad cross-cultural perspective to his work, and gives readers basic meditations for working on their own homes.

If you’re interested in the metaphysical or spiritual, in intuitively understanding the world around you, in ghost stories or haunted mysteries, in why your home feels the way it feels or how these situations complicate real estate transactions, read Healing Houses now.

One of the things I never expected to find was that physical objects get invested with energy the same way a house does. It should have been obvious, that just as the locket or ring of your grandmother carries certain attachment, something more formidable could too, but a chest of drawers??? Yes.

It needn’t be a “Death Bed” to make us feel uncomfortable, any furniture can become imbued with a certain level of personal energy, drawn from repeated daily interaction. Dad’s easy chair, for instance, or roll-top desk, may always hold a charge that reminds us of him, or feels odd to the person who buys it at an estate sale. Of course, the more intense the original owner’s connection, the stronger the charge.

The Ouch in Couch

Teri was referred to me in hopes that I could help her be more artistically productive. She was a very talented singer, and was hoping to write enough material to put an album together while she had a good living situation. She was subletting a nice, quiet, studio apartment from her friend Bob, but seemed unable to get much work done there. It was pretty clear cut that she was living in someone else’s home, but she hadn’t realized how Bob’s energy would make her feel.

Bob and his wife had separated, and he was visiting her in hopes of working things out. What amazed me to start with was the standing emotional attachment, an energy cord running from Bob’s 2nd chakra to his wife, across the country. It was as though he had a giant tin can phone through which he sent his longing and anger and loneliness right into her guts.

Bob wanted to put the relationship on track, and there was a nervous feeling of make or break to this journey. Projected across the continent, however, his emotional energetic overload probably made his wife feel ill. It certainly did that for Teri, who had no defense against feeling the feelings that Bob had generated there for so long. After all, she was sleeping in his bed, eating in his kitchen, and looking out of his windows.

As I swept about the apartment, reminding Bob that he was no longer there, and to conduct himself thusly, I sat down on the couch. It took up a fair section of the room but was piled up with stuff because Teri never wanted to sit on it. I asked her if she felt uncomfortable sitting on the couch, and she explained to me that she had never felt comfortable on it and used it strictly as place to pile things. Interesting, I thought, so I sat down on the couch and began to look into it.

It had a very specific charge to it, which was right on the line that that my job crosses into my client’s personal lives. I asked Teri if she (knowing Bob and his wife) knew enough of their relationship history to know whether there had ever been a pregnancy (or an intended pregnancy) that might have caused the riff that now had them living on opposite coasts. She told me yes, that was exactly what had happened. Bob’s wife had wanted to have a baby and he didn’t, and it felt to me that this couch was the last place they had had sex, which wound up in an argument over exactly this relational direction. Eeeuw!

It was the “bad sex couch,” which held all of the emotional energy of coming together in hope and being split apart in fear and loss and refusal, which it wore like a sickness. I went ahead with my job, dissolving that impression from the couch, which I hope restored their ability to face their relationship decision, but will probably never know. It did return the couch to a comfortable functionality, which helped make the space much more livable and available to Teri’s artistic pursuits.
